@resources is included in @system-service for a reason: it's syscalls
are typically used by programs. Regular system service use it, and
that's totally OK and expected.

i.e. the basically explicitly created a configuration that can't
work. My recommendation: just drop the second line altogether. Your
first line implements an allowlist already, hence besides the
@resources thing the second line is entirely redundant, and the
@resources stuff you really don't want.

Yeah, programs change the APIs they use. System call filters needs to
be put together with an undrstanding what the programs do, and hence
are besten already put togther upstream or by the distro. If you do it
downstream you might run into issues like this.

The idea of @system-service is that it mostly tries to isolate you
from this, but in your case you overrode what it does, so it fell apart.
